President

Chris Surfus

I am the President of the re-established Friends of the USS Liberty Public Library. The group was looking for volunteers so I took the leap. I am in my second year of retirement from the K-12 education field and have always loved libraries. In fact, I worked part-time in libraries throughout high school and college. I have one adult daughter, a son-in-law, and 3 grandsons that keep me busy. My claim to fame growing up, I am the oldest of 10 children. I am so happy to be part of the Friends group and look forward to all the activities and FUN we will have growing our membership and getting to know so many of the other volunteers in the group.

Treasurer

Karen Boedecker

I spent the last several years when I lived in Madison, caretaking for my Mom and Dad so that they could remain together; they both passed, Summer 2016, then I moved to the area to be closer to family. I spent most of my professional life working Tax Season (still there), Fraud Auditor, Mergers and Acquisitions and as Controller for several Research and Development start-ups.
